Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules

France 24 October 16, 2025

Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power. The nation's leadership called the new rules “common sense” to help regulate a “very disruptive” press.
